Should MSNBC FIRE Joe and Mica?
They are media scum, have no logical minds, force us to watch C-Span for 3 hours in the morning to avoid MSNBC!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Get those guys fired and bring on Susan Boyle, someone with a brain and talent, or re-run for the 1000th time some criminal with tatoos who we are glad is behind bars, heck even David Schuster with the horrible voice, and canned interview lines.

Let's try to get Joe and Mica waterboarded on camera by Friday and then can them. They are useless, intellectually vapid pieces of cow manure.

Get MSNBC to fire them and get some babe's with bods and brains on....like the view.....I would give the spot to Whoopie if it were up to me.

6. Why keep the real white male stupid fool


Joe should be water boarded for MSNBC to renew his contract

Mica, too stupid to water board. She's just a stupid woman with good looks, too many of them around

10. Mica is more of a travesty for me b/c she's an insult to all women.
I say keep the white male because I like it when he's at a loss for words when Mica's dad calls him a fool.

20. I agree
Joe is the problem. He is a bully with almost everyone. Mica isn't the greatest, but she is a different person when Joe isn't there. Last week I saw Joe try to bully Carlos Watson and the look on Watson's face said it all. He was trying very hard to control himself. No wonder Shuster walked away from him last year - Joe is just plain mean and arrogant.

21. I saw that with Carlos. You could tell he was really trying to keep
his professinal cool and not call Joe out for the redneck, repuke talking points spewing, hack that he is. :patriot:

29. Mika does a pretty good job when she's anchoring other shows
that allow her to actually run the discussion.

However, ever since the election her Morning Joe role been pushed into the female sidekick who disapproves of her male coworkers locker room obsessions and which is limited to reading about 3 mintutes of news at the beginning of each half-hour. Even when she has her "spotlight" she still has to compete with Joe's non-stop interjections and asides.

15. They should, but
they won't. MSNBC would like to give the appearance of balance and they will keep those assholes own to balance out Keith and rachel. Plus their show beats cnn in the morning.

30. As long as Joe is competitive with the other morning shows he's going to be on air.
Seems pointless to expect it to disappear when its ratings appear to have been doing exactly what MSNBC wants them to do.

19. Look closely at your remote. There is an OFF button
and you can press it.

Watching any station for three hours straight is crazy, unless this is your job!

Go out, read a book, visit interesting sites online. No one is "forcing" you to watch anything. It is called free choice.

22. I only wish that Cold Case files would look into the death of his intern.
It certainly appears that she was murdered. I wouldn't put it past that bastard for being involved. He comes off like a junk yard dog with a vicious temper. He should have been a bullying cop; he missed his calling.

25. As horrible as they are, and as painful as it is to watch them air their...
dirty, dysfunctional, personal laundry every morning, I find the C-Span call in show totally unwatchable, all you hear on the other end of the phone is "uuuummm, uuuummmmm, aaaah...., uh". Sounds like a bunch of 90 year old drunks that have been up all night on hold waiting to get on the air. The guests are great, but the callers are just too tedious for me to sit thru.

and I am very tired of Jon & Kate and the endless tabloid life they covet / complain about.

31. Should they fire anyone on any show you do not like?
I think Joe Scar is full of hot air, but so is a lot of talking heads on TV. I also think a lot of other shows on are stupid, so I avoid them. Got a lot of choices with cable. I have figured out a foolproof method to solve these minor crises - I change channels. Unlike Alex DeLarge with your eyelids mechanically pried open watching a bit of the old ultra-violence, use your fingers and change channels.

32. I'd love to see tham get rid of Buchanan as a"commentator", too..
Edited on Wed May-27-09 12:18 PM by old mark
I used to laugh at his stupid comments, but I can't stomach any more GOP scum on my TV...I just don't want to see their faces or hear their voices in my home. Tweety is just rrying to be impartial - he really hates Cheney, too, so he can't be too bad....

But that Morning Joe bullshit is offensive and I don;t understand why they are on MSNBC and not Fox where they belong.
(The only thing I watch on any Fox channel is football.)
Are you listening, MSNBC?

I heard Joe was talking up the CL game today. So he's okay in my book for now. Till the next time he pisses me off, I mean. :)

This is their contact address from their "contact us" page - If you know a better one, please feel free.....

Thanks.

35. Fortunately for those of us on the West Coast, "Morning Joe" is on from 3am to 6am Pacific time.
So, that's when I'm sleeping. I automatically miss it.

:D
